The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of squares of the two sides of right angled triangle is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

Let a, b and c be the sides of a right triangle where c is the length of the hypotenuse.Then

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

Pythagoras theorem is used in daily life situations.

A surveyor looks through a telescope toward a measuring stick a fixed distance away, so that the telescope's line of sight and the measuring stick form a right angle.

It is also used to calculate the steepness of slopes and mountains.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the sides are in proportion.

⇒ $\frac{24}{k} = \frac{32}{64}$

⇒ $\frac{24}{k} = \frac{1}{2}$

⇒ k = 24 × 2

⇒ k = 48

Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. (5,0) m=4/3

sveticcg [70]

$\text{The standard form of a line:}\ Ax+By=C$

$\text{The point-slope form:}$

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$\text{We have the point (5, 0) and the slope}\ m=\dfrac{4}{3}$

$\text{substitute:}\\\\y-0=\dfrac{4}{3}(x-5)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\y=\dfrac{4}{3}x-\dfrac{20}{3}\qquad|\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\3y=4x-20\qquad|\text{subtract 4x from both sides}\\\\-4x+3y=-20\qquad|\text{change the signs}\\\\\boxed{4x-3y=20}$
